Its complicated panini is fantastic, Spinach & strawberry salad is wonderful, They offer a 4 cheese grilled cheese in the winter that is fantastic! Service is fantastic! The only disappointment I have is that they changed their hours, they used to be open until 8 during the week but now they close at 6. read more

Saturday morning and wanted to try something new and take a break from the typical breakfast joints. Friendly staff greeted us right away and gladly answered all our questions. If you're looking for a glutinous smorgasbord of diner style omelets and pancakes, keep on driving. Options are limited, but what we had was delicious. We had the "veggied-out" crepe and the fresh-strawberry Nutella crepe with sides of fresh cut fruit. Tasty fresh intelligentsia coffee. Open concept kitchen, so we could see all the fresh ingredients they use. I do recommend they carry alternative meat options for breakfast, like turkey bacon/sausage. But that will not take away a star. Can't wait to back! Highly recommended. read more

See all

OMG..had some cake from this place ..can't remember everything that was in it..all i have to say is it melts in your mouth

Amazing cakes and cupcakes. Did our wedding cake here and we were not disappointed. That was five years ago and we continue to get every cake and cupcakes from them for birthdays and parties. read more

Another local favorite spot! Fun for a quick stop with my daughter, or treats to bring home. They did a wonderful job on my daughter's first birthday, her own Mikckey Mouse Clubhouse! It was pricey sure, but you really do get what you pay for. Getting married soon, and we already made up our mind where we'll be getting the cake. read more

I decided at the last minute to send my Mom an early birthday cake at her hair appointment this morning and was amazed when Creative Cakes had a decorated cake ready to go for Door Dash to pick up in under 15 minutes! It was delivered to the salon in less than an hour and the whole place loved it. Thanks for starting my Mom's birthday weekend out so well! read more

Couldn't ask for a better experience! From our tasting to the delivery of the cake Creative Cakes was professional, organized, friendly, and incredible at what they do. Our cake looked absolutely beautiful, and tasted even better! We did a layer of chocolate, white, and red velvet and every layer was amazingly delicious. I highly recommend them for special occasions or any event you are hosting that you need a special cake. read more

We ordered a cake for my parent's 30th anniversary and it did not fail! The filling we got was just perfect. It wasn't an overpowering taste but still was delicious. It was a hit with the family. We will order from again! read more

I am a procrastinator, hands down! I'm not afraid to admit it one bit. I got a brilliant idea on Tuesday morning for my dad's birthday. He loves Crown Royal so why not have a custom Crown Royal cake baked for him!? Genius idea, right??! Well It's Tuesday and most places require 2 week notice and his birthday is Friday....(eek!) I thought I'll just take a shot in the dark and ask if they could prepare it on such short notice. Good thing I called because boy oh boy I was not disappointed. Awesome cake, speedy service, fabulous price, and most important... a taste to die for!!! GET IT! read more

Hands down the best cupcakes and pastries . Every time I walk in it is so hard to choose what to get everything looks amazing . And they truly make the most beautiful birthday cakes and they taste as good as they look read more

I stopped in there for a second time a couple of weeks ago when I had a doctors appt out that way. I ordered a red velvet cupcake for the SECOND time behind the glass display and it was stale, tasted horrible, just like the last one I had gotten last year. If you are going to display your product, especially like that right in front of the customers everything sb freshly made. I was going to order about 300 cupcakes for a wedding shower but have now changed my mind. Thank you read more

Great place to sit and have coffee. The pictures don't really show it, but this place is pretty big with plenty of seating. Plenty of food and sweets options. read more

I have been a banquet manager at the William Tell in Countryside for over 20 years. As expected, I have seen hundreds of wedding cakes. Last Saturday one of our weddings featured a wedding cake like no other. The cake was ordered from Creative Cakes in Tinley Park. It was very elegant in design and overall appearance. However, the biggest surprise is what was inside. This was a banana cake with chocolate ganache frosting. The cake was extremely fresh, as was the filling and ganache. Any bride would be proud to serve a cake like this to her guests. Job well done Creative Cakes, simply outstanding. read more

The breakfast sandwiches are good . Last time decided to try their wraps and it was ok maybe it was the price too for what I had but felt like for 9.99 should had a bigger wrap then what I got or a drink included. The wrap itself was not bad but I needed little more flavor. The staff is very kind and attentive read more

Decorated beautifully but the frosting is so thick and the cake not very flavorful. Overall decent. I'll try other places before returning.

Let me start off by saying neither my husband nor I are big fans of cake... after our tasting at Creative Cakes, we ordered 2 cakes for our June 2017 wedding. They were able to create the color and designs we requested without adding to the overall cost. The cake, frosting and filling were delicious and our guests agreed. It is customary to save the top part of the cake for our one year anniversary, but we are opting for the healthier option of Creative Cakes making a small fresh one in a year. read more

Our event planner at our venue highly recommended Creative Cakes for our wedding cake and we were not disappointed. Unlike most couples, our cake was not the main aspect of our wedding but we still wanted a beautiful cake and Creative Cake delivered. They provided us with a cake that was simple elegance and we loved it. It tasted amazing too! Highly recommend! read more

A SAD DAY!!!! Been a customer for over 6 years! Moved away...Came back....What happened? Ordered 2 cupcakes peanut butter cup & chai pumpkin.... They both lacked Love! Left my senses to have something to be desired! No LOVE! Tastes like they are getting creative with the ingredients! Gotta stretch that dollar! No thanks! For $6 for 2 cupcakes I expect Bliss! They have gone from hit to miss! I will never patronize again! I feel taken advantage of! Cupcake RAPE!!!!! read more

Ordered 3 Caramel Apple Cupcakes & 3 Bananutella Cupcakes last Friday to bring to a sales account of mine... I think I may have lost the business thanks to these cupcakes! Client called me and asked if I don't like them anymore? I asked Why? What is wrong? They said usually when I bring some sweets by everyone in the office gets excited.... NOT THIS TIME! They told me not to bother to bring in treats anymore! I asked why? They said the cupcakes were stale & the Apple Cupcakes tasted musty! YIKES! Thanks Creative Cakes! I am so glad I went out of my way for this! You are obviously having some problems in the bakery by the other reviews I read! read more

I've ordered or purchased from CC several times over the last 2-3 years and I'm just not that impressed with them. First time was as assortment of cupcakes for my husband's birthday. These were shared with friends and family and, while we didn't think they were bad, they were not all that good either--interesting varieties but lacking in true flavor. The second occasion was a birthday cake for my mother's 90th birthday party. I asked CC to put butterflies on the cake since she loves them so much. They charged me for them and, of course, they were not on the cake. Also, again, I thought the flavor of the cake was just so-so, as did many of the guests at the party. I know I won't be doing business with CC again. read more

So far have been there twice for lunch in the cafe. I liked what I had, my last visit I had chicken salad on pretzel croissant and it was good. Husband had tuna. You can see everything is freshly made - they cook the chicken right there. Although its good I think the portions are on the small side and coming from someone who is not a big eater I would suggest those with hearty appetites find another lunch spot. Bottom line is this place is great for atmosphere but doesn't deliver on the food. As I said food is very good but nothing unique or special. SandwIch comes with a few grapes on the side chips are extra. At $7.50 for a sandwich I would expect more. My husband and both left hungry. I think they are trying to copy the LaBriola Cafe in Oak Brook. To that I would say nothing beats LaBriola! I don't think I would go back to the cafe. I buy my cakes from Fleckenstein's in Mokena. read more

Very disappointed in this Bake Shop! We recently moved to the Southwest Burbs from Buffalo grove. And Through our past experiences we have continued our very satified business with "Dearfields Bakery"But since we've moved to this area we were recommended on this Creative bakery upon setting up an appointment with creative and doing a taste test. we thought everything was running smoothy until we called back to finalize our order they. We were unaware of our order that they totally blew us off and showed very little reliabilty towards new customer...Very disappointing of their costomer service inability and failure to run a business with customer courtoursey ...We were looking to invest 350.00 in a cake and continue with future business but they failed on all accounts .fortunetly we found a new place . we had a first cake made through Cathy's bake shop in Plainfiend in which they're service was inpeckable and we found a home with excellent service....Thanks Yelp for your help....Gil&Len Balboa read more

Love this place! Ordered my baby shower cakes from here. They were so delicious my guests were taking extra home. Beautifully decorated as well. read more

My mother and I had ordered a cake for my baby shower from Creative Cakes instead of ordering a cake from Jewel. I wanted a really cute and yummy cake. The cake had a chocolate and white cake layer with strawberry as the filling with their version of buttercream. I wish their buttercream was less like whipped cream. Anyways after all the guests left my Mom mentioned to me that a long piece of black hair was baked inside the chocolate layer in her piece of cake. I was completely disgusted. I didn't pay $70 for a 1/4 sheet of cake for someones DNA to be in it. Thank god it was my Moms piece and not another one of my guests. I called and left a message that Sunday afternoon in hopes for a call Tuesday when they were back open. It was later Tuesday and I had to call them to inquire about the message I had left and what my Mom had found. The lady I spoke with called me back and said they would give me a full refund. Think they need to reevaluate their policy on hair nets. read more

We used creative cakes for our May 24, 2013 wedding. After talking to several family members and friends, who had used them in the past, we knew they were the right bakery for us. We decided to go with a cupcake cake instead of a tradition wedding cake. They did such a beautiful job making our cupcake cake look as elegant as a regular wedding cake would. The detail on the cake was incredible and beautifully done. We had a mix of white and chocolate cake and used butter-cream icing on all of them. I still cannot get over how beautiful the cake looked. I have always been one to be critical of wedding cakes because to me they often look to be over done. Ours was exactly what I had envisioned. We also used Creative Cakes for my wedding shower. They did a beautiful job on that as well. Of course you can't talk about cakes without talking about the taste.... The cake tasted amazing. It was so moist and delicious. We received several compliments on the appearance and taste of the cake. We were also given take home boxes so our wedding guests could bring their cupcakes home with them. I will be using creative cakes for all future events and would definitely recommend them! read more

Wonderful bakery! I ordered my daughter's birthday cake here and I couldn't be happier. We had a 10 inch round, red velvet cake with white moose filling and cream cheese frosting. it was soft and flavorful...pure heaven on a fork! It was decorated just beautifully -- the cake decorators take great pride in their work. I have been ordering from Creative Cakes for a few years -- and have always been extremely satisfied! read more

I just hosted a storybook themed baby shower, and Creative Cakes did an outstanding job as usual. The cake shape and decorations were perfect; it was ready on time, and - most important - it was delicious! I've already recommended them to my guests, and will continue to do so to others. read more

Over the last several years my family has been exclusively using this establishment for our special occasion cakes, so naturally now that I am getting married I had my heart set on using them to make my wedding cake. I usually order online, and have never had to call in for an appointment, but I knew with this I'd need to schedule a consultation. I attempted to book a consultation for a date that worked for both me and my fiancé. My first attempt I was told the date I wanted to do wasn't available-no problem, I thanked them and said I'd call back after I consulted him. I called this afternoon and asked if next week Tuesday we would be able to schedule an appointment for 5 or later. The young lady I spoke to informed me they don't do consultations after 3pm. I was a little surprised, but tried to explain that I work every weekend as I am in retail management and my fiancé doesn't even get home until 4pm. The unsympathetic young lady on the other end of the phone told me they "might" be able to accommodate me but that they are "just so busy with weddings, and graduations, and confirmations, and blah, blah, blah."-LITERALLY an exact quote. She then proceeded to tell me they don't even recommend a consultation until 3-6 months prior to the selected wedding date, which I had already informed her was the first weekend of November. My patience was already wearing thin, but I gently reminded her we were at the six month mark. She suggested I wait and call them back. Pardon me? Wait what, three months? When you're still in wedding season? I'll likely only be brushed off again. Disappointment is an understatement. I thanked her kindly for her time and hung up. I now have less than 27 days to research a new bakery as I only have one day off a week. I can only HOPE that there will be someplace a little more understanding that won't be so flippant and minimize such an important occasion in my life. read more

I am basing my review on 3 event purchases. I bought my wedding cake from them and that was 5 stars. I was very pleased with the cake. I bought a baby shower cake from them and they did a great job copying the theme from our decorations.That was 5 stars. I purchased a few dozen cupcakes for a wedding shower. I had the couples' monograph made on chocolate and gold sprinkles were added. At the time, I lived in the city and was going to order from a cupcake bakery but opted for Creative Cakes, instead. I had a friend pick up the cupcakes and she brought them to the shower. I was extremely disappointed. They placed the cupcakes in a box (like a shirt box) with nothing to hold them in place. One box was only partially filled so those cupcakes received the most damage. So, when I opened the box, they were smashed on the sides and the chocolate monogrammed pieces fell off some cupcakes. Mind you, the person who picked them up drove carefully but also didn't realize how they were 'packaged' inside. Also, for the price I paid per cupcake, they were small and they just looked cheap. I should have went with my instinct and ordered from a cupcake bakery. I never did tell them how disappointed I was. So, I'm not sure of how they would have responded if I did notify them. I would have given this cupcake order 1-2 stars. Thus, I'd recommend them for cakes but never for cupcakes if you are buying more than a couple at a time unless they have different packaging. Also, I am not sure if they have different sized cupcakes but the ones I ordered were smaller than most specialty cupcakes are made. read more

Creative Cakes did it again! Last year I posted about my daughter's 4th birthday princess cake. This year, she turned 5 and needed a pony cake for her pony party. I brought in pictures of what I wanted. It turned out exactly as the pictures and 10x better. The cake was excellent. Everyone raved about it. I will use you again, and again. I cannot say enough good things about this bakery. Thank you all for the outstanding job. My daughter loved it and it was perfect for her pony party! read more

Can't say enough about Creative Cakes. The staff is so accommodating and talented. The cake is outstanding in taste, options and quality. It is so difficult nowadays to find really good bakeries I am delighted to give CC a 5 star rating. Their cake was the hit of our birthday party! read more

For my daughter & son in law's first anniversary, i ordered a replica of the top of their original cake. since the wedding had been in Vegas. They did a good job of matching the it from a picture i sent by email. Fran explained everything from the start, and sent me confirmation emails. My daugther raved about the cake, they said it was the best she ever ate. Since it was my anniversary gift to them,I'm happy and relieved that they loved it. read more

We ordered our wedding cake from them and it came out better than we could have expected. One of the easiest vendors we dealt with. The staff was very friendly. Since our wedding we have been back several times. read more

I recently purchased a birthday cake on 09/27/13. I must say the cake was Fabulous!!! I presented a vision for my 12 yr old bday party and they made a cake to match the decor and theme of the party. It was Delicious. Althrough, this was my first time using their services, I will surely be back and have told many ppl about this Creative Cakes. All 5 stars.. read more

Very professional, and the name "creative" suits them perfectly because they are extremely creative. I enjoyed the designs I received; they captured my vision perfectly. I bought a basic buttercream cake; rectangle shape about 12-17 inches in length and it's was around $75, and that's the basic. I must say I never paid that much for a cake but I did receive everything I wanted at least. And they let u pay it in increments so it does have to be paid all at once; if you're ordering well in advance. read more

Excellent selection of great bakery items. I think they also served lunch but we were driving through and wanted to pick up some pastries to bring to friends we were visiting. We had failed to plan ahead and get something before we left for our road trip Found this pastry shoppe through yelp. Was not too far off the interstate and the selection was great . We picked up a box of goodies (cannolis, French macarons, mini eclairs and cheesecakes etc) and were able to suitably impress our hosts read more

I ordered a large Tiramisu ( $100 ) for a celebration. I've had Tiramisu many times in my life and I have to say this cake was the cheapest version ever experienced. There was more icing than cake. The cake was plain yellow without the traditional taste. I felt ripped off. No one had seconds and half got thrown out. Never again. Fancy menu and facility without the quality. read more

Had our wedding cake/cupcakes made here and they turned out perfect! Everyone thought they were delicious and the cake itself was Gorgeous! Definitely recommend! read more

Have used them for 3 years for cakes Would recommend them for any event for cakes and cupcakes. This was first time to try cafe. Will be going back. read more

I've been to Creative Cakes only a few times, but every time has been better than the last. The last time I went, I ordered a ham and Swiss crepe, and it was the best crepe I ever had. Hands down, the friendliest service in all the restaurants near me. It was very clean, and I loved the decor throughout the café. The staff welcomed me when I walked in and I received my food quickly. This is a fun place to hang out, especially for families and friends, and they also host Paint Nite. Definitely would go here again!!! read more
